less looking pimple appeared on the

painful thing and necessitated his giv-
ing it careful attention for a few days.

The dray team owned by Mr. Fred
Gillespie, while left standing in the
station yard on Thursday last, made a
dash for liberty. On reaching the
gateway out of the yard they collided
with one of the heavy posts and both
horses went down. One sustained
only slight injuries while the other re-
ceived a bad shock, and it was thought
at first that it would not recover. The
services of a veterinary were called,
however, and the beast is nearly al-
right again.
We were in error last week in stat-
ing that there would be no new school
built in S. S. No. 3, Stephen, this year.
Such would have been the case had
not the trustees succeeded in securing
Mr. Geo. Heaman to do the mason
work. The work of tearing down the
old school has already been begun and
in fact is almost completed and the
building of the new structure will be
begun at once. When finished the
school is expected to take rank with
the best in the county.
Mr. Silas Stanlake, Jr., of the Lake
Road, met with an unfortunate acci-
dent on Wednesday of last week.
When tripping a forkful of hay from
a load in the barn the trip -rope broke,
causing him to falloff the load on to
the barn floor. In attempting to save
himself from falling on his head he al-
lowed his whole weight to be borne by
one hand, and in so doing sprained the
muscles of the arm severely. The in-
jury is very painful and will necessi-
tate his laying off work for some time.
Mr. James Jewell sustained a nasty
cut on the forehead on Friday morn-
ing last while assisting in the building
of a house near Denfield. It appears
the scaffold he and a companion were
on gave way causing them to fall to
the ground. .The companion alighted
on his feet and was unhurt, but Mr.
Jewell, who was stooping when the
break occurred, was thrown to the
ground head foremost, with the result
as mentioned above. Under the care
of a doctor the wound is fast healing
and he will soon be well enough to re-
sume work.
A young man residing in a neighbor-
ing town, recently bought a shirt
which was purchased in the cast.
Rolled up inside he found a note from.
a young lady who had worked at it,
in which she said she would be pleased
to correspond with the buyer ,of the
shirt, provided he was matrimonially
inclined. Of course the nice young
man answered it on perfumed paper
useinghis rosiest language. In a short
time he received an answer stating
that the young lady had been married.
three years and had two children.
Upon investigating to find out why he
was too late, it was explained by the
fact that it had lain on the shelves of
the local dealer, for several years.
The local dealer did not advertise.
The attention of readers interested
is respectfully drawn to the High
.School Department of the Exeter Pub-
lic School and its permanent advant-
ages. Students now may not only
cover the course prescribed for second
class certificates in the shortest pos-
sible time, but may also procure a
thorough Commercial training with
an advantage not even offered by some
Commercial colleges. The railway
serves it admirably. Pupils at any
point between Denfield and Brucefield
may leave home at a most convenient
hour in the morning and return
promptly in the evening with little or
no loss of time in session or for trains.
These advantages will no doubtbe not-
ed and seized and our Board should
hold themselves open for a consider-
able increase in attendance from out-
side points.
In tearing down the old walls of the
school house in S. S. No. 3, Stephen,
on Friday last some difficulty was ex-
perienced in pulling out the west wall.
The workmen then decided to pull it
inward by means of a rope thrown
over the gable. On making a long and
a strong pull the wall came in, but in
so doing fell upon the iron rods which
extended from west to east. The jar
on the rods caused the gable on the.
east wall to take a tumble, fallingout-
ward upon the porch inside of which

Death of Robert Fisher.
On Monday evening the death took
place of Robert Fisher, uncle of Mrs.
Wm. Dauncey, at the latter's home,
at the advanced age of 85 years. The
old gentleman had made his home
with his niece for some time and had
been in declining health for years.
Death was due to old age. The re-
mains were taken by train to Wyom-
ing on Wednesday morning, at which
place interment took place that after-
noon.
Horsesttoeilig.
Mr. Danns Bruyere, who has had
charge of Mr. Wm. Kunz's horseshoe-
ing trade, wishes toannounce that,heis
prepared to stop any horse froth inter-
fering, forging, oyer -reaching, speedy-
cutting, or to treat any disease subject
to the horse's foot. In any case where
he fails the money will be refunded.
Having had a wide practical exper-
ience in the line of critical and difficult
horseshoeing he invites you to bring a
horse and see what he can do with a
piece of iron.
A Bit of Advice.
Boys of the town and city- breed,
who contemplate visiting in the rural
districts during July or August, would
be wise to postpone any such trip to a
later date, as the farmers have an un-
comfortable desire to work everything
he finds running loose upon the farm,
which desire is owing no doubt to the
scarcity of farm help. If go you must
prepare yourself to accept the inevit-
able with a good grace, or take a' bike
with you so as to speed hence on the
approach of the man with the lasso or
the pitchfork.
In the Churches.
In the absence of the rector, Rev. R.
J. M. Perkins, Prof. Burgess, of the
Western University, London, occupi-
ed the pulpit of the Trivitt Memorial
church, on Sunday. He will also have
charge of the services next Sunday.
The Main street Methodist and the
Presbyterian congregations unitedly
assembled at the Presbyterian church
on Sunday morning and at the Main
street church Sunday evening for di-
vine worship. The pulpit was occupi-
ed•by the Rev, Wm.. Martin, of the
Presbyterian church, on both occa-
sions.
"A Pilgrim" was the title of a solo
sung with excellent effect in the Main
St. Methodist church Sunday evg. by
Miss E. Beers, of London, who is holi-
daying at her home here. Miss Beers
shows a marked improvement in voice
culture of late and being possessed of
a sweet, rich voice she is ever pleasing
to her hearers.
Rev. Wren, who is supplying for
Dr. Hannon in the James -street Meth-
odist church, preached a very impres-
sive and able sermon on Sunday morn-
ing. The evening service was conduct-
ed by Mr. Downs, whose discourse was
attentively listened to and much ap-
preciated by the large congregation
present.
Wickwire—White. •
The home of Mrs. Margaret White
was the scene of a pretty wedding on
Thursday morning last, when her
daughter, Miss Margaret V., became
the wife of Francis J. Wickwire. The
ceremony was performed in the pres-
ence of a large number of relatives and
friends. In addition to the bridal
roses and carnations, the residence
was beautifully decorated with white
sweet peas, clematis and ferns. The
bride was given away by her brother,
William J. White, of Ottawa, and
was attended by her two little nieces,
both prettily attired in white silk:
Miss Greta wore a white chiffon hat
and acted as ringbearer, while Miss
Dorothy made a charming little flower
girl. The bride wore a becoming
gown of Dresden silk, with a large
picture hat of white and black. The
ceremony was performed by the cousin
of the bride, Rev. H. Graham, of
Wellburn. Miss M. White, of Ottawa,
played Mendelsohn's wedding march.
After the ceremony and the wedding
breakfast the newly -married couple
left for Toronto and Buffalo, returning
on Tuesday of this week. Among the
guests from a distance were, Mrs. T.
M. White and son, Cooper, of Wind-
sor; Mr. and Mrs. J. White and daugh-
ter, of•Detroit; Mr. and Mre. W. J.
white and daughters, of Ottawa; Miss
Hamilton, of Stratford; Mr. Graham,
of Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. Graham, of
St. Marys.
Wedding Celebration.
The following was taken from the
Gowanda Leader and bas reference to
former well-known residents of Exeter
Dr. and Mrs. Robert Muir:—"The
query, 'Is life worth living?' could be
answered in the affirmative by even.
the most pessimistic if they could en-
ter into enjoyment such as was so
splendidly exhibited at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. Robert Muir last Friday
evening. There were about two hun-
dred guests present to tender their
hearty congratulations on the 20th
anniversary of their marriage. Every-
one must have been delighted with
the ample provision made for body,
soul and mind by the popular host and
hostess. The arrangements were par -
excellences -the spacious tent being a
delightful fateUity of accommodation
for the large number of people. Aside
from the splendid banquet., the vocal
and instrumental musical numbers,
and also the literary luxuries of the
program were greatly enjoyed. (Here
followed a long list of excellent selec-
tions and the names of those taking
part in the program.) The presents to
Dr. and Mrs. Muir were numerous and
exquisite and were much appreciated
by them. The goodly number of im-
mediate relatives from afar must have'
been highlygrattfigd bywhat
